STAY AT HOME.

The man in Southern Indiana who has good
farm, or is a mechanic Or clerk with a good
situation and a comfortable home, is a fool to
sell out and go gallavanting north, SOUTH east
or west in sea-ch of the golden fleece.
There are drawbacks in Southern Indiana,
but they are as few or fewer than in any other
spot of green earth.
Kansas has drouths, cyclones, grasshoppers,
prairie fires, prohibition, woman suffrage, and
other evils.
Dakota has billiards., floods, fires, and untold
other Ills.
The south has hot climate, yellow fever, worn
out lands, Xridden communities too much
one. sided politics, and too many colored in
proportion to white population.
The east-well, If the Ledger was advising
immigration that would be the course 1t would
take, for great many persons But this is not
popular, and viii not be for generation, SO the
advice, like many unknown blessings, would
pass by unnouced.
Southern Indiana has diversified soil, mild
climate, pure water and plenty of It, cheap
lands and good markets, an enterprising pOpu-
latlon, good schools churches and all the appli-
anCes of high civilization.
What more could be wanted?-[New Albany,
Ind, edger.
North Texas has no hot climate, no yell
low fever, no WORKOUT lands, no tax-rid-
den communities mo political ostrscism, no
heavy negro population. North Texas
raises wheat, oats, rye, barley, millet,
corn and cotton, and is a splendid live
stock country. North Texas has cheap
lands and is the section for Indiana home
seekers TO migrate to.

THE Waco Daily Advance has made its
appearance in the field. 1t is an eight
column folio, neatly printed and edited to
"pulverize the rum power" In It's an,
nouncement the Daily Advance says:
The Daily Advance is the outgrowth of a con-
ference between printers, editors, reporters
and rustiers who believed that by organizing 8
joint stock company and furnishing Waco and
central Texas with first class morning paper
alivlng could be made, and in the end prosper
ity would attend the enterprise.
In the pending prohibition campaign the Ad-
vance Will give its earnest support to the pro-
hibitory amendment, though 1t is not started
as a campaign paper, but is started as a morn
ing news journal, independent of any campaign
now on hand or auy to follow.
The Advance believes that daily newspaper
can be run without true sling to any interest as
such, and that In order to live it need not, OF
necessity, look mainly for It's support to the
lawless and the vicious. We shall, therefore
regardless of whether the paper lives or dies
advocate law enforcement, good morals, and
foster and encourage all means that may be in
stituted for the betterment of society and the
improvement of human conditions.
This is all we have to say. The paper is be.
fore you. If you like it, take it; if you don't
like it, let 1t alone. If it deserves to live, 1t
will live. If 1t deserves to die, it ought to die.

A GREAT deal has been said of the
physical endurance of men, but it remains
for woman to show that her sex is not
to be left out of the calculation. Few
men have endured the wear and tear of
editorial work for fifty years; they gener-
ally write the vale, and go to rest ere
that, but a Belgian woman is soon to
celebrate her journalistic jubilee. Her
confreres are TO give her banquet and
otherwise show her honor. Had she
mounted the tripod in the wild west fifty
years ago, and held the position, what
thrilling scenes she could narrate, but
Belgium is too old for such experiences
and knows nothing of six-shooter and
bowie knife.

SECOND only to the tariff question is
the Interstate commerce law as a wind
fall to the average newspaper editor.
There is scarcely day that some poor
stranded writer does not make find, in
the intricacies of this much discussed
law. Often is it that blessings come dis
gulsed, and the editor who saw only in
the provisions of this law the cutting off
of his dead-head privileges failed to ap-
preciata the stored wealth his pencil
might evolve from these mysterious
depths Interstate law and tariff are
twin helpers to him who so often is cast
adrift on the sea of journalism.

WHILE so many of the bloody shirt
relics of the north are venting their in
sane malice on the south and Buckner, it
is pleasant to place this from the Chicago
Inter Ocean, itself q "truly loil' news
paper, in contrast: GAS the nomination
OF an ex-Confederate by the Democratic
convention in Kentucky was inevitable,
the nomination of a man like General
Buckner is more encouraging than
would have been the nomination of
man of less weight and less
reputation. 1t is true that General Buck
ner was one of the first Kentuckians to
organize effective opposition to the gen
eral government In 1861. 1t is also true
that he was one of the first Confederates
to accept defeat in proper spirit, and it
will always be remembered in his favor
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-05-10

that when the old chief of the Union
armies was on his death-bed Buckner was
one of the ex-Confederates who went to
the sick room with the hand-clasp of
friendship and sympathy. 1t is strange
that Kentuckians have never thought of
nominating for their highest state office
men like General Buell., who made good
record in the Union army, but if they
must take a man with q Confederate
record, it is we'll that they should take
men like General Buekner."

AMONG the amendments 10 be voted on at
the August election is one providing for regis
tration of voters in cities of 10000 or more in
habitants. Every voter who believes in fair
and honest election should vote for this amend
ment. Without a registration OF the voters,
fairly and impartially conducted, frauds at the
polls cannot be preVented.-[ Gainesville Regis
ter.
The Register is right. Especially in
cities are frauds possible, and the people
of the country who do not want their
honest ballots overcome by frauds in
the towns and cities should vote this
amendment to the constitution by an
overwhelming majority.
